Chapter Eighty-Three: Departure
"But can your body go?" Lin Jingjing's eyes were full of worry. "Why don't we recuperate for a few days before we leave."
But Jian Zhan thought about the scene this morning and shook his head decisively.
"But your wound has just stuttered, and it takes a long time to take the train in Xincheng, what if the wound recurs more seriously along the way."
Jian Zhanmo smiled, "This time the four of us will go together, will Xuanhe still take the whip and let me go?" You should be able to rest on the way. ”
Lin Jingjing thought about it, and smiled, "Our things are all packed, and I have prepared two copies of the medicine you drink, when will we leave tomorrow?" "
"We set off at three o'clock, none of these things are important, the most important thing is you."
Lin Jingjing's face was slightly red by his sudden confession of hunger, and he turned around and went to sleep.
As soon as the sky was bright, Lin Jingjing and Jian Zhanmo were ready to wait for them at the gate.
"How's the gentleman?" Xuanhe took off the flag uniform he had been wearing, changed into an ordinary robe and coat, and Yurong beside him also put on a cheongsam for the first time.
Yurong, who was wearing a dress, had always given them a feeling of shyness, but they didn't expect to be a little bookish when they put on a cheongsam.
Jian Zhanmo nodded, "It doesn't affect the road." ”
"Sir, otherwise we will rest in P City for a day or two, and we will go on the road again when Mr.'s wound is completely healed."
Lin Jingjing also raised his hand in agreement when he heard this, but Jian Zhanmo still rejected them, "In the whole P City, which inn and tavern don't sell it to you Jia Hengyi face, instead of worrying about him being poisoned here, it is better to go on the road slowly, and wait for the surrounding towns to rest well in the evening." And you love that the carriage of the Xinjue Luo family is so luxurious, I'm afraid it's better than an ordinary hotel. ”
With that, Lin Jingjing looked up to see the carriage parked at the door. The carriage was larger than all the carriages she had ever seen from the outside, and the front was pulled by six horses, and even the buckles connecting the reins on the horses were made of pure copper, not to mention the medium nanmu on the body, which was wrapped in copper welt, and the four corners of the roof were inlaid with Rui beasts.
"How much does it cost your carriage to build?"
Yurong tilted his head and thought for a while, "This carriage is the carriage used by the ladies and sons of the mansion to travel, it seems to be ten taels of gold, but Heng also doesn't take our kind of carriage, he has his own special carriage, which is much more luxurious than ours." ”
Lin Jingjing was really amazed today, a carriage cost ten taels of gold, and there were even more expensive ones.
"Let's get in the car first, Mr. Jian's body hasn't healed yet, we are walking slowly, and I don't know if we can get to Xinghua Village in the evening." Saying that, he helped Jian Zhan Mo into the carriage.
If the admiration for the carriage outside the carriage is only about money, then to sit in the carriage is to praise the unique mind of the carriage builder.
The inside of the carriage was wrapped in soft cotton, and it didn't hurt anywhere. There are small hidden compartments installed all around, and any random one is pulled out and there are different necessities inside.
Lin Jingjing put two backrests behind Jian Zhanmo and asked him to sit in the carriage in the most comfortable position, and then the group of four of them left Aixin Jueluo Mansion in the carriage.
Maybe it was a desertion from the heavens, not long after they left, He Chengfeng took Tian Ji and them to the house to ask for the news of the luminous stone, and they had just left
Far.
"They're leaving?"
The little guy knelt on the ground, "Back to the ancestors, miss, young master, they have already set off, walking in the direction of Xinghua Village, and Young Master Xuanhe said that he should rest in Xinghua Village at night." ”
The old ancestor nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, you go down." ”
Although Jian Zhanmo said that he was fine, after he got sick, he was weak after all, and he fell asleep not long after he got on the road, leaving only Lin Jingjing and Xuanhe staring at them.
Unlike Jian Zhanmo, Lin Jingjing is rectum, and he has nothing to say to people who don't know him well, and Yurong has rarely spoken in front of Lin Jingjing since she was indirectly injured Jian Zhanmo, and always looked at her silently with an apologetic look, which made Lin Jingjing very embarrassed.
In the end, it was Xuanhe who broke the silence, "Miss Lin, I don't know if you know anything about this luminous stone?" ”
"If it weren't for your ancestors, I wouldn't have known that this one on this pocket watch is called the luminous stone, so if you ask me, you're really asking the wrong person." Lin Jingjing spread out her hand, she really didn't know about the matter of the luminous stone, so this was not a lie, I don't know why, she didn't really want to involve He Chengfeng and them.
But she didn't know that He Chengfeng had already sent it to the door by himself.
"Old lady, I'm really sorry to take the liberty of bothering, but we heard that there is a glow-in-the-dark stone in your house?"
The old ancestor was strange in his heart, but after all, he was different from a child like Heng Yi, with a perfect smile on his face, "Luminous stone? I've heard that Ruifeng Jewelry has auctioned it once before, and that was the first time I saw a real luminous stone, and to be honest, it gave me a lot of shock. ”
He Chengfeng didn't expect the old ancestor to say it directly, "I don't know if this luminous stone is in your mansion?" "The original buyer of this luminous stone was a person who had hidden his identity, and the news on the Aixin Jueluo Mansion was that they spent a lot of money to come out of the hall from the guys at the Ruifeng Auction House.
"You can go to the Aixin Jueluo Mansion to inquire, but don't say that I said it."
The old ancestor had a suspicious look on his face, "Why do you ask that?" At the beginning, I remember that the luminous stone was bought by a person who hid his identity, and I love the Xinjue Luo family It seems that there is no need to do such a thing. ”
He Chengfeng looked at the expression on the ancestor's face over and over again, trying to read something from her face, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything.
"So we're bothered." He Chengfeng lowered his head and retreated with the field chickens.
Leaving the house, Tian Ji scolded hatefully, "The luminous stone is not here, the stinky boy dares to sell us fake news, let's go to him." ”
Unexpectedly, He Chengfeng waved his hand and whispered, "Let's go back and talk about it." As he spoke, he gestured to the direction of the lower corner with his eyes, and Tian Ji instantly understood and closed his mouth.
"Why didn't you let us go to him, he dared to tell false news." Back at the hotel, Tian Ji couldn't help but ask this question.
He Chengfeng closed the door and window, pulled them and whispered, "He didn't lie, that glow-in-the-dark stone is on the Aixin Jueluo Mansion." ”
Hearing his words, Tian Ji and Kaizi were both slightly stunned, "You mean she lied to us?" But I don't think she's surprised. ”
He Chengfeng shook his head, "Not bad,
She pretended to look very similar in surprise, but because it was too similar, it was wrong. Do you think, who is she, the ancestor of the Aixin Jueluo family, the people of P City can live and work in peace and contentment all depend on her, no matter how powerful Ruifeng Jewelry is, it is not simple for her to want a name? ”
Tian Ji thought for a while, "So if it's really a stranger who bought the luminous stone, she must know who it is, and she won't be so surprised, so it's likely that she sent someone to buy it secretly, just because she doesn't want people to know her identity." ”
He Chengfeng nodded, "That's right." ”
"But if the glow-in-the-dark stone is really in love with the Xinjueluo family, we won't have any hope at all." Kaizi immediately thought of the worst outcome.
Tian Ji felt that it made sense when he heard it, and looked at He Chengfeng, but he didn't expect him to directly take out three train tickets, "Don't talk about getting the luminous stone, I'm afraid we have problems with our safety now." This is the train ticket I bought from someone, and we'll leave tonight. ”
Tian Ji's face was clouded, "When are you going to get the train ticket!" ”
"The day before yesterday, when I decided to go to Aixin Jueluo's house to explore the truth, I went to get this at night. If you are not prepared, going to Aixinjueluo's house is not to die. "
"Ancestor, they have already boarded the train to R City."
The old ancestor chuckled, "He's obedient, forget it, don't worry about him, what's going on with Yurong?" ”
"Back to the ancestors, there are no carrier pigeons back."
"Well, you go down."
After a day's journey, when it was just getting dark, Jian Zhanmo and the others finally arrived at Xinghua Village.
Before entering the village, Lin Jingjing smelled the fragrance of apricot blossoms, "No wonder this place is called Xinghua Village, it's really fragrant." ”
Seeing Lin Jingjing's simple smile, Jian Zhanmo also laughed, "If you like it, I will plant all the apricot blossoms for you in the yard when you go back." ”
was confessed in front of outsiders, Rao is Lin Jingjing also felt unbearable.
"You guys have a good relationship." Yurong said to them with envy that she and Xuanhe were both educated and raised in the Qing Dynasty, although Yurong stayed in the foreign country later, but she was still conservative in her bones.
There was Heng Yiheng among them before, and Yurong and Xuanhe always had an embarrassment when they were together, as if they were still in the house.
Lin Jingjing laughed, the two of them can still be seen as having a good relationship, Yurong's vision is really not good. "We're not what you think."
Yurong smiled clearly and didn't speak, Lin Jingjing's explanation seemed to her to be a girl's reserve.
"And what are we?" Unexpectedly, Jian Zhanmo took over the topic, and looked at Lin Jingjing with interest, as if she had flowers painted on her face.
This time it was Lin Jingjing's turn to get stuck, "I..." I didn't come up with a result for a long time, so I could only throw it over with a roll of my eyes, turn my head to look out the window and stop talking.
Xinghua Village is not big, there is only one inn in the whole village, Xuanhe asked for three rooms, he lived in one by himself, and Yurong lived in one, Lin Jingjing was naturally arranged by him intimately in Jian Zhanmo's room.
Although Lin Jingjing wanted to object, thinking that Jian Zhanmo's wounds had not yet healed, he agreed to this arrangement, at least he could take good care of him.
"Sir, we will stay here for two days, and you will recuperate."
